FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Easter Bunny has been fired — for losing his head.
Arthur J. McClure, 22, who had been hired to play the Easter Bunny at a local mall has been accused of removing the head of the costume and hitting a customer, authorities said.

"My shirt was soaked with sweat." McClure said. "I almost threw up."
He said he took the bunny's head off because he had been wearing it for nine hours and was hot.

Magazine mistake mixes up Wyoming
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Where
you can find Montana's best camping? In Wyoming.
Wvoming?
The May cover story of Sunset, a California-based magazine about life in the West, detailed some of the top campgrounds in the West, including six Montana locations. But a map accompanying the article shows five of those six "Montana" sites are actually in Wyoming — three of them in Yellowstone National Park.
Dale Conour, Sunset's deputy editor, said the listing was a mistake and that the Menlo Park, Calif.-based magazine was sending letters to subscribers notifying them of the error. He also said a story planned for the July issue would correctly report Yellowstone's location.
About 90 percent of the park is in Wyoming; the park's northern tier is in Montana, with a western sliver falling in Idaho.
"It'll be clear from that
"Montana, Idaho and Wyoming — we all claim the park," Betsy Baumgart, Montana's travel director, said while laughing at the magazine's gaffe.

HONOLULU — The humuhumunukunukuapuaa officially lost its title as the state fish more than a decade ago but is set to reclaim the honor.
Former state fish set to officially reclaim title
A bill reinstating the critter — known as humuhumu for short — passed the Legislature on Monday and heads next to the office of Gov. Linda Lingle for a signature.
The little fish with the long name was deposed in 1990 by a clause that expired after five years in the law that gave it its crown.
But few in the state were aware of the change and the fish, also known as the rectangular triggerfish, and it has continued to be touted as Hawaii's state fish.
The measure is credited by its introducer, Rep. Blake Oshiro, to the 6-year-old son of a friend and constituent, Joel Itomura. It was itomura who brought the lack of an official designation for the humuhumu to the attention of Oshiro, D-Aiea-Halawa.
Lingle now has 10 days to potentially veto the bill. The Associated Press

Senior women's club to open doors to men
DAYTON, Ohio — Financially strapped and desperate for new membership, a 90-year-old private woman's club is opening its doors — to a man.
Membership in the Dayton Woman's Club topped 1,400 in the 1950s but has fallen to just 307 as lifestyles changed and members aged. The average age among members is 70, said club president Barbara Markham. The identity of the first man to join the club was to be revealed at a ceremony Tuesday. Other men may be asked to join.
